Thanks; it looks very professional.

A similar program, but mainly intended to retrieve chess positions from the web if FEN and/or PGN is missing, is DiagTransfer:

Hi,

Don't know. I am not making one. Chris was making one, don't know how far he got. But do we need one ? Extra time => extra costs. Also didn't hear much from Martin lately.

As you see there are also some announced new sections at the Arena page:
  • Board adapters
    Clones/cloners
Also I should write something about the Convekta UCI bookadapter which allows you to use CTG books in Arena. This is enough for me.

Hi,

I know, at that point it was planned to have a forum The forum software we were planing to use needed more then the one SQL database offered by our provider. I would have liked one at that point too but it should have been integrated within the Arena page. I destroyed the database trying some stuff and got to the conclusion that the software I was going to use wasn't secure enough. Also I don't need another moderator job.

Good that I didn't announce the new Arena page :http://playwitharena.com/ar20test/

YOu see lot of unfinnished stuff but also not enough time and no motivation at all. We got about 10 thanbk you for your page, support, software in 1 year...
